Nir Rosen on counterinsurgency in Iraq & Afghanistan
Friday, December 4th, 2009Seems we’ve been silent too long on this blog! Caught up in the first fall of Clockroot—
A quick link to Nir Rosen’s excellent recent work in the Boston Review: “An Ugly Peace,” an article on counterinsurgency in Iraq, and “Something from Nothing,” on counterinsurgency in Afghanistan. I’ve heard several of Rosen’s interviews on Democracy Now!, and this summer read his The Triumph of the Martyrs: A Reporter’s Journey into Occupied Iraq, which like all the work of his I’ve seen is deeply felt, rigorous, right there on the ground, and recommended.
